This Week in Food
Looks like DC’s food scene will keep growing in 2011 with even more pizza, burgers and cupcakes.

The first week’s schedule is: Franklin Square on Monday, Georgetown on Tuesday, [...]

Talk about an empire. DCMud.com reports that restaurateur Ashok Bajaj, the man behind Bombay Club, 701, Rasika, and Ardeo + Bardeo could soon sign a lease for the retail space at 22 West in West End. Bajaj somewhat hinted at a new project in a chat last month with my fave [...]

DC Omnivore 100: #62, Sweetbreads
Our continuing quest to try all 100 foods a DC Omnivore must experience checks out sweetbreads.
There are a few items on the Omnivore 100 list that will elicit a very strong reaction. Sweetbreads certainly has to be one of them. I think there’s no middle ground here, as with, say, sea urchin, you either love [...]
We Love Drinks: Commonwealth
It isn’t Commonwealth’s fault that it has the single-most worst view of any bar in the city. Entirely fronted in high glass walls, it overlooks the ghastly architectural blight of DC USA, the single-most worst looking development in the city.
